Looking for a mall in Lekki with gym? Banex Mall on Akiogun Road, Lekki Phase 1 has Bodyline Fitness and a fitness studio with hourly hire. Come train.
Malls in Lekki With Gym — The 2026 Guide to Training Inside a Mall
The ideal gym for most Lekki Phase 1 professionals is not the one with the most equipment or the most impressive social media presence. It is the one you will actually use because it is convenient, because the commute to get there does not cost you the hour you were going to spend training, and because it is in a building where the rest of the day's errands are already happening.
This is the case for having a gym inside a mall, and it is the reason the fitness options at Banex Mall have become a genuine draw for the Oniru and Lekki Phase 1 fitness community
Banex Mall's Fitness Offering — Two Options in One Building
Banex Mall on Akiogun Road, Oniru, Lekki Phase 1 has two distinct fitness options that serve different types of users.
Bodyline Fitness — The Resident Gym
Bodyline Fitness is the gym within the Banex Mall building, serving members who want a consistent, structured fitness environment close to where they live and work in Lekki Phase 1 and Oniru.
It appears on the mall's homepage as one of the trust-signal brands alongside Chicken Republic, MedPlus, Samsung, and GIG Logistics which gives a sense of how established it is within the Banex ecosystem and how central the management considers it to the mall's overall offering.
For Lekki Phase 1 residents evaluating a gym membership, the mall context provides a specific advantage: the gym visit fits inside a longer building visit rather than being a standalone errand. Train in the morning, grab food from the food court, run a quick pharmacy stop at MedPlus, and leave having completed four things rather than one.

The Fitness Studio — Hourly Hire for Trainers and Classes
Separate from Bodyline Fitness, the Banex Mall Fitness Studio is available for hourly hire at ₦35,000 per hour.
This space is designed for personal trainers, group fitness instructors, yoga and Pilates practitioners, dance coaches, martial arts instructors, and wellness professionals who need a professional environment for their sessions without the overhead of a permanent studio rental.
Who this is particularly for:
Personal trainers whose clients are based in Lekki Phase 1 and Oniru — instead of travelling to their client's estate gym or working in a public park, the Fitness Studio offers an air-conditioned, enclosed, professionally appropriate environment at a predictable hourly cost.
Group fitness instructors running bootcamps, HIIT sessions, or dance cardio classes — the studio is contained, the floor is suitable for movement, and the air conditioning means the session does not deteriorate in the third quarter when the Lagos heat becomes a factor.
Corporate wellness organisers — companies running weekly staff fitness sessions can book the studio by the hour rather than committing to a membership or trying to repurpose a meeting room.

Why Training Near a Mall Makes Practical Sense
The post-workout question in Lagos is often food. The fitness-to-food pipeline at Banex Mall is immediately practical: VMAX365 at the mall entrance serves smoothies and fresh beverages.
My Noodles Cafe, Chicken Republic, and the broader food vendor range cover the post-workout meal without requiring a separate journey.
The MedPlus Pharmacy for supplement restocking, the parking for over 100 vehicles, and the lift access throughout the building all contribute to a fitness visit that fits into a productive day rather than consuming it.
Do Other Malls in Lekki Have Gyms?
Lekki mall gyms are not common. Most Lekki Phase 1 fitness options are standalone facilities in estates or commercial buildings, not inside a shopping mall.
Banex Mall's combination of a resident gym (Bodyline Fitness) and a hireable fitness studio makes it the most complete mall-based fitness offering currently available in the Lekki Phase 1 and Oniru corridor.
